Our recommendations: For adults, the Musée des Beaux Arts (housed in the former university) has some excellent art galleries. The Musée de Bretagne is housed in the same building. The Jardin du Thabor in the Rue du Paris is impressive.

For the children: Sadly the market disappointed our family…..we’ve never seen so much choice of fish, fruit and veg…..but not a single novelty stall in sight where the children usually have fun spending their holiday allowance! They’ll have a lot more fun in towns like Vitré or Fougères.
